PowerPoint using Animation or Video—A How To

PowerPoint using Animation or VideoA How To

• The old days Static overheads, bad
  handwriting, scribbles for drawings, students
  waiting impatiently while you take forever to
  carefully thread the projector.
• Then the initial PowerPoint breakthrough- and the
  the students waiting impatiently while you take
  forever to minimize PPT and carefully open a
  separate program to show a digital video.
• Today now it is more seemless one click and the
  video starts playingWHAT A RELIEF!
• AND WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN ANIMATIONS to replace
  static overheads or slides

My FCQs scores have increasedin part due to
incorporating animations video in PowerPoint
lectures. Clarity and increased student
comprehension see data in, more

Animation and PowerPoint

• PowerPoint itself can animate
• Animated Gif- simple, easy
• FLASH- complicated, the standard
• Movie/video
• 3-D animation (like Pixar/Disney films)-forget it
• To insert animation into PPT 2003 go to the
  Insert menu, Point to Movies and Sounds, and then
  click Movie from File.
• Latest version of PPT is 2003 (2002, 2000 have
  fewer abilities)

• WATCH OUT!!
• In front of very famous people, or faculty-eating
  students, you find that the talk you made on your
  office desktop will not play the video when you
  use a laptop in the lecture hall.
• Animation/movie files are automatically linked to
  your presentation but they are not embedded
  inside it like pictures or drawings.
• To embed animation files Use Package for CD
  under File menu to include all linked files.
  Also, a PowerPoint Viewer is included by default
  on the CD and will run the packaged presentations
  on another computer even if PowerPoint is not
  installed.
• Note  This feature was called Pack and Go in
  previous versions of PowerPoint.

• To insert a link to the webgo to web site, copy
  (Ctl-C) and then paste (Ctl-V) into slide. Then
  highlight link and go to Insert, and then
  Hyperlink
• Need wifi for your laptop (dont trust classroom
  cable)

2. Animated GIF-

• Though not technically movies, animated GIFs
  contain multiple images which stream to create an
  animation effect.
• An animated GIF can loop endlessly
• are not scalable, and can produce very large
  files.
• However, gif animations are much easier to
  develop than those with FLASH
• To view them, you have to use Internet Explorer
  not a picture viewer (right click on gif file and
  choose use of Int Explorer).

Examples

• Dr. Donald Slish of State University of New
  YorkPlattsburgh has discussed their use (Slish,
  2000) and provides many useful examples
  (http//faculty.plattsburgh.edu/donald.slish/anima
  tions.html).
• In addition, Dr. Steve Berg of Winona State
  University maintains a large number of gif
  animations for cell biology (http//bio.winona.msu
  s.edu/berg/ANIMTNS/Directry.htm).

9
Because of the value of the animation, the ease
of development of gif animation, and the skills
developed while teaching other students, some
biology instructors have made development of a
simple gif animation into a required
exercise.Free trial of Gif animator by Ulead

3. The Standard Macromedia's FLASH
(http//www.macromedia.com/software/flash/)
examples http//carbon.cudenver.edu/bstith/c
ellcrawling.swf http//carbon.cudenver.edu/bsti
th/fert20wave.swf
11

• Post FLASH animation to web site, then put a link
  to the web site in your PPT slide
• OR if animation file on your hard drive
• Right click on animation file and select Create
  Shortcut
• Right click on Shortcut, click Properties, and
  copy the address line (highlighted in blue)
  (Ctl-C)
• Add link to PPT slide and remove quotation
  marks- click on it to show animation-
• Highlight and click Insert, then Hyperlink
  then insert copied address (removing any )
• C\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\BRAD\endo
  exocytosis.swf
• See also http//office.microsoft.com/en-us/assist
  ance/HA010348071033.aspx

12

• You make a starting figure and and ending figure,
  and the program makes all in between animation
  shapes ("tweening)
• FLASH can rapidly import a series of
  photomicrographs to produce a time-lapse movie
  (see the FLASH swf movie embedded in the
  following Web site http//carbon.cudenver.edu/bs
  tith/waverot.htm (right click on video to
  control it).
• TAKES LOT OF TIME (tough to learn, 10 hours
  effort per one minute animation) students from
  Coll Arts Media can help
• To play FLASH animations, you need a plug in the
  Shockwave player, and it is free
  (http//sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/downl
  oad.cgi?P5_LanguageEnglish).

13
PowerPoint and Movies

• "Movies" are desktop video files with formats
  such as AVI, QuickTime, and MPEG, and file
  extensions such as .avi, .mov, .qt, .mpg, and
  .mpeg.
• You cannot add a clip from a DVD to your PPT show
  unless you use another program such as PFCMedia

14
Video of lab procedure, clip from popular movie,
or science film

• Tape movie from TV on VHS or directly by digital
  movie camera (copy from DVD.)
• Transfer to computer through iLINK
• Edit on computer add title, cuts, dissolves,
  etc. Movie Maker software for Windows XP is
  available free from Microsoft.
• Transfer to laptop for classroom burn onto CD
  (choose file type- mpeg) or DVD (stand alone- not
  linked to PPT)
• If a mpeg file on hard drive, use a Link in a PPT
  slide

15
Dont expect Hollywood quality files are huge
see Lorenzos Oil clip You can test a movie
to see if it will play in PPT- test with Windows
Media Player. If the movie doesn't play,
Windows Media Player gives you detailed error
messages and a Help link that can help you
troubleshoot the problem.

3. From Devel. Biol The Wnt Pathway1.Extracellu
lar ligand Wnt binding to its membrane receptor
(frizzled) followed by activation of the
receptor. 2. The receptor in turn activates
(shown by ?) the intracellular protein disheveled
3. which then inhibits () glycogen synthase
kinase 3 (GSK-3). 4. Once GSK-3 is inhibited, it
can no longer induce the destruction of
beta-catenin. OR (wow! I am using visual
aid!!)- From Developmental Biology by
GilbertWnt ? Frizzled ? Disheveled GSK-3
Beta-catenin.Students this Wnt leads to
inhibition of beta-catenin
21
FLASH animation of Wnt Path (from Dr. Randy Moon,
Univ Wash)

• http//faculty.washington.edu/rtmoon/movies/cell.s
  wf
• Not perfect, but emphasizes that Wnt leads to
  increased Beta Catenin
• This is one FLASH animation that you can steal
  and put on your hard drive (note the URL has a
  .swf ending this is a flash file that is not
  embedded in a htm file if the flash file IS
  embedded, it is tough to steal it). Rt click on
  link to save the animation.
• Note that the FLASH file is small only 42kB.

part (use Draw toolbar, alter transparency)but
still too complicated

5. How the Resting Membrane Potential develops

• K is high inside the cell (due to the NaK pump)
• K channels are a bit more open than channels of
  other ions (e.g., Na and Cl- channels are mostly
  closed)
• K moves out of the cell from high to low
  concentration movement of the ion out makes
  the cytoplasm NEGATIVE (and NOW THE TOUGH PART)
• K EFFLUX STOPS WHEN ELECTRICAL AND CONCENTRATION
  GRADIENTS ARE EQUAL AND OPPOSITE

25
Fig. 13-4 Figure from Text (World of the Cell)
26
Animation of Development of Resting (Equilibrium)
Membrane Potential

• K Channels open, K moves due to DIFFUSION FORCE
  (see arrow).
• Then the developing membrane potential FIGHTS
  further K movement. THIS IS THE ELECTRICAL FORCE.
• At the end of the animation, K is in equilibrium
  (diffusion and electrical forces are equal and
  opposite).
• THE ANIMATION SHOWS THE SHRINKING OF THE
  DIFFUSION FORCE (arrow shrinks in size) AND
  GROWTH OF THE ELECTRICAL FORCE (arrow grows)
  UNTIL THE TWO ARROWS ARE EQUAL and OPPOSITE.
• Click here for the animated gif (100 KB).

27
Animations are not needed for all static
illustrationsAnimations do not produce
miracles but studies suggest an increase of
15-20 in correct answers on certain questions
when animation was used(questions on topics
involving motion, location within cell, multiple
steps, etc) Are we all (in part) visual learners?
28
Remember that you can often take animations off
the web

• Google search with key word and animation
• Right click on the animation link and select Save
  Target As or Save Picture As to put on your hard
  drive.
• http//faculty.plattsburgh.edu/donald.slish/animat
  ions.html
• Does not work if you save htm file not original
  swf or gif file (try using MS Front Page)

29

• Vocabulary
• AVI- Windows AVI provides the capability to
  develop animation files that can be included in
  multimedia presentations and as part of WWW
  pages. The files (which end with an .avi
  extension) require a special player.
• compression- method for making file size smaller
  and therefore easier/quicker to transfer
• GIF- (Graphics Interchange Format) developed by
  Compuserve. standard image format (along with
  JPEG) for the WWW.Technically, a GIF uses the 2D
  raster data type, is encoded in binary, and uses
  LZW compression. There are two versions of the
  format, 87a and 89a. Version 89a (July, 1989)
  allows for the possibility of an animated GIF,
  which is a short sequence of images within a
  single GIF file. A GIF89a can also be specified
  for interlaced presentation.
• JPEG- is a graphic image created by choosing from
  a range of compression qualities. When you create
  a JPEG or convert an image from another format to
  a JPEG, you are asked to specify the quality of
  image you want. Since the highest quality results
  in the largest file, you can make a trade-off
  between image quality and file size. Formally,
  the JPEG file format is ISO standard 10918.
• Kb- kilobyte a measure of computer memory or
  storage, a kilobyte (KB or Kbyte) is
  approximately a thousand bytes (actually, 2 to
  the 10th power, or decimal 1,024 bytes).
• Mb- megabyte as a measure of computer processor
  storage and real and virtual memory, a megabyte
  (abbreviated MB) is 2 to the 20th power bytes, or
  1,048,576 bytes in decimal notation.
• morph- artificial animation by running a sequence
  of images together.
• MPEG- (Moving Picture Experts Group) a movie
  format.MPEG (pronounced EHM-pehg), the Moving
  Picture Experts Group, develops standards for
  digital video and digital audio compression. It
  operates under the auspices of the International
  Organization for Standardization (ISO). The MPEG
  standards are an evolving series, each designed
  for a different purpose. (Note that .mp3 file
  suffixes indicate MP3 (MPEG-1 audio layer-3)
  files, not MPEG-3 standard files.) You can
  download shareware or commercial MPEG players
  from a number of sites on the Web.For additional
  information, see About MPEG on the official MPEG
  Committee Web site. An illustrated Overview of
  the MPEG-4 Version 1 Standard is available.
• Plug-in- applications are programs that can
  easily be installed and used as part of your Web
  browser. A plug-in application is recognized
  automatically by the browser and its function is
  integrated into the main HTML file that is being
  presented.
• PNG-A patent-free replacement for the GIF, the
  PNG format, has been developed by an Internet
  committee and major browsers will soon be
  supporting it.
• Quicktime- is a multimedia development, storage,
  and playback technology from Apple for all
  platforms that combine sound, text, animation,
  and video in a single file. Using a Quicktime
  player that either comes with a WWW browser or
  can be downloaded from Apple or the browser
  company, you can view and control brief
  multimedia sequences. Quicktime files can be
  recognized by their file name extensions qt,
  mov, and moov.
• Shockwave- developed by Macromedia, is a family
  of multimedia players. WWW users can download the
  Shockwave players (Windows and Mac) from the
  Macromedia site and use it to display and hear
  Shockwave files.
• streaming- means that movies or sounds play as
  they arrive and you do not have to wait until the
  complete file downloads to view of hear.
